'. I .. - When the sue news passed from mouth to mouth in Eastern Oregon that Walter Fernald, pioneer of the west, minor of the early days, the country's developer, and ' in later years a - banker, of Baker,. Everyone realized that one of the pillars of tlMB state's earlier existence had pi'i sed on. ' ' " ..Never being a man to claim the I'nielight it i took close personal as sociation, such as this country had in years gone by, to know and fully . appreciate the unpretentious Walter Fernald who was ever a friend and ahelpor to the man or woman who : retilly tried. It has often been very truthfully said that no one who had shown that he was honest and will- liig to worK over appealed to Mr. Fernald in vain. 4 In banking, his judgment was on the moral risk. Lands ' and chattels probably carried less value with him as a' security than most any other person in thii gioat interior. Ho first studied his man, and if ho decided the man waF light, proper credit followed. ' n..: ..... ... : uuii.g u native or the Btato ol Maine, Mr. Fernald, arter inspucting the even then crowded east, decidoc he would cast his lot on the Pacific const. How he reached this countrj rnd tho many experiences he had af ter locating here arc stories in trag ji- climaxes and humorous detail. Tc h;ye tho reader an Idea of tho re lihirkublo career of Mr. Fernald, wc have -but -to recite the fact that hi anippca at one time Vn-j m eastern pi t on a wind; ' ,. an Fran cisco.

Wo have hoar: Mr.' Fernald tell of an Instance wher omm n "man of the cloth" was grab bed and pressed into service for se veral months. '.. In the California country he took .n active part and when the gold ou-ilomuit came on in Eastern Ore (ion he was on the ground. In the Rye. valley country he was one of th" principal characters und his wis dom and advice was sought not onlj l.y the pcoplo of that camp bul throughout the gold regions of nl Eastern Oregon. ' I His long residence in Uakei brought him in cloes contact with 1 rimincnt men of La Grande, Pontile-ti-n and nearby sections for his nc tiwty in the First National bank ol his home city lasted for many years No one ever had a better friend than Walter Fa f inld and as a neighbor he c-iang to the splcnuid pioneer princi ple of dividing with tho worthy.

' THE LESSON TAUGHT. As hag been repeatedly predicted by this paper there wag a light vote at yesterday's primaries. People just could not be Induced to hold for an "instant the interest of any particular candidate, the merits of t-ny measure that candidates might represent, and many voters could not be induced to remember the date of tho event, ' This teaches beyond question that the voters have their minds centered on the one big event the world war. The home that hag a boy or two in tho service, or the neighbor's home, closes its daily routine in life with thought' of the battlefields in France. Fathers and mothers are wondering when it will all end and every night offer a prayer that their boy is safe. With this frame of mind it is hard ly to be expected that any keen in terest would bo felt in the primary. .....ORPHEUS MUSICAL CLUB..
